SAN issue

  • hello,

    there were SAN issues on the server where E: and F: became unavailable.

    we realized this when the log backups were failing.

    now that the drives are back online this is the error when a db is being accessed:

    [font="Courier New"]Msg 233, Level 20, State 0, Line 0

    A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

    [/font]

    is a SQL Server instance restart all that is needed?

    I'm worried the databases would come up as suspect.

    thank you

  • I think that you would be OK to simply restart SQL Server.

    However, to be safe, take a backup of the files on drive E: and F: first (with SQL Server stopped). That way, if something isn't quite right you do have a chance to try again.

    Your SSMS session is disconnected, close SSMS and re open and then connect reconnect to the server
